I agree. On the last AE, they said there might be displacements on the ER on this bid. No displacements but with 15 NYC A330 A openings, they may need to backfill if ER guys bid off, lest they be short again this summer. Plus, one of the 717 sims is just coming back on line at the Delta training center so that could be a factor too. Not to mention scambos comment on the 777 and 747. Saw two 747's doing military charters in the past 3 days. One in HHN and one in BWI. If there are going to be mil charter opportunities, it would be a shame to get short on pilots.

Was this an award for a Captain position?

Thanks

Yes. The "A" is CA. A "B" would be FO.

Thanks for the replies.
This is unbelievable... Did the upgrade time get so short because nobody wants to be on the Md/717?

Behold ye, behold ye! It is here!!
1 year 11 months and 18 days from day 1 on the job to Captain's award!

Now all who - in their new hire class - were promised Captain position within 5 years can finally find piece of mind and sleep well!
It has happened in Delta's history
